Freedom is a liberal value and equality before law, now equality in welbeing. If you're far left, you're for equality in welbeing, because there can be no euality before law in a country where your material wellbeing is still being taken into account before court, thus there is no real freedom. That's where many liberals fall in a pit, because they don't really believe in equality in material wellbeing. They'd throw us a bone and tell us to be happy with the marrow, while feasting on all the flesh.

And those types of people are not liberal because they are opposed to equality of opportunity, where the particular opportunity is to achieve material wellbeing if one works hard enough to earn it.

However, how would equal of opportunity after the first generation, where the people who were ahead will have children that will almost surely be better off than the children of the others? Would you reset after every generation?
